There’s a wonderful man who was accused around the same time and although no charges have been filed, he still cannot perform his duties as a priest. He was accused by a man who said that when he, the man not the priest, was 18, that Fr. Mike grabbed his privates while they were playing touch football. Sigh. We really want him back. I hope that when this evil man is locked away that the Archdiocese will feel save enough to stop the madness against my friend’s friend.

What’s that got to do with the topic of this thread?

This priest mentioned pleaded guilty to his SECOND count of possessing child porn.

It’s not a false accusation here.
